[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know there is an omnipresent Bucknell hater on this site who immediately will post several times in succession with animus to any mention of the school, but I think the Bucknell comparison for CMC is a good one - both punch above their weight on the street, have rabid alumni, and have a pre professional vibe on campus.  And both provide pathways to front office wall street jobs for kid interested in that[/quote]

I rarely comment about Bucknell but I made one of the comments above. The reason is that the evidence just isn’t there for it being some amazing Wall Street feeder school like the boosters here try to make it out to be.

Two different analyses on Wall Street feeder schools, looking at different data and a slightly different list of firms:

https://www.peakframeworks.com/post/ib-target-schools

https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-feeders-banking

Over 60 schools across the two lists. Where’s Bucknell? Nowhere. CMC is there. Middlebury is there. The usual top SLACs are there, though not Pomona interestingly. But no Bucknell.

Bucknell is known for its rabid, booster alumni. That counts for something. But it still doesn’t make fetch (Bucknell) happen.
